237.Succeed and LeaveWhen Jeremy returned from winter vacation he acted as if he could wipe the floor with anyone.He even stopped coming to orchestra where he played a wind instrument.When he said that he would have none of us for friends anymore I approached him!What happened to you? I asked."You used to be our friend.Now you wind up coming home from winter break a different person!"He just smiled.Wipe the smile off your face and tell me what happened!Why bother? he said. "You won't understand!" I frowned."All right, I don't know whether or not it will matter, but here goes.I lived a wild life over winter break and discovered a will power that I never knew I had!It all happened while skiing.There were a bunch of hot shots that teased me the whole time.I challenged them to a race because I wanted to win a name for myself.They agreed and tons of people watched.I was terrified, but I raced.The other guy wiped out and I won by a neck!It turns out that all of his boasting was window dressing and I tore it down!"Jeremy stood proudly as he told the story."It made me a different person.I felt wise immediately after the event!What was even better was that afterwards this beautiful girl came up to me and asked me if I wanted to go to coffee with her!I only answered 'White or black?' It was so cool!""Anyhow，now I'm a different person. I'm wide awake!And I don't want to hang out with you nerds anymore!"
